We can have our cake and eat it too.

The question is: is it any way to start a business? To plan things out in the open? No closed doors. No silos. Let’s try this; this fearless exhibition and exploration. Here’s what we know so far:

We want to create a brand network entity with an impressive project-based portfolio.

Our identity will be people-focused, starting with ourselves as natural guinea pigs (introductions coming soon) to test the validity of this concept.

We want to create an asylum for creativity which will allow us and people like us to essentially play all the time, with play being loosely defined as doing the work we have fun doing and love doing.

We want to avoid traditional models of intellectual property such that our ideas and the ideas of our network can instigate radical, disruptive change on a global scale.

We are prepared to accept patronage; we are not prepared to provide “creative services”.

In exchange for patronage we are willing to create diverse packages of benefits that give our patrons additional insight and depth of knowledge about the innovative processes which drive our projects.

We stand out as opinion leaders in our fields of expertise by exhibiting an uncanny sense of awareness of the trends of the day, with a knack for not only forecasting — but also manifesting — the future.

      Thanks Cole! This intention has been greatly inspired and influence by the phenomenal success of emergent project-based financial structures such as Kickstarter. Can you think of any other patron-driven web-based finance models for projects/innovation? Would love to gather together a collection of those resources.
